Excellent list. If everyone adopted one of those ideas each day then in 3 months their lifestyle would be so much healthier. Outdoor activities a great idea. If you have children buy toys for outdoors, like see-saws or kids wheel barrows – they will want to go and play with them and get the whole family out.

In 2008, I biked to Oakland and to Hollister. I also biked to San Francisco three times. My biking range now spans seven counties, having added San Benito County. I just took El Camino Real to San Jose, then Monterey Hwy all the way to Gilroy, then Hwy 25 to Hollister. When I biked to Oakland, I went across the Dumbarton Bridge, then rode up Fremont Blvd, which turns into Hesperian Blvd. then, at Bayfair Mall, went over to International Blvd/E 14th St, then continued to downtown Oakland. When I biked to San Francisco, I stayed on El Camino Real.

My biking range now spans six counties: Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, and Santa Cruz. I have biked to several shopping centers, including Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco, Capitola Mall near Santa Cruz, BayFair Mall in San Leandro, and the Outlets At Gilroy. I have biked to fifty libraries, including nine in San Jose, six in San Francisco, one each in Gilroy, Hayward, Woodside, Portola Valley and San Lorenzo, three in San Mateo, two in Daly City. I have biked to five beaches, to Baker Beach on four occasions.
I have biked to San Francisco 17 times, to Gilroy twice, to San Jose countless times, to Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, San Leandro, and Sunol once each. I am planning to bike to Hollister, Livermore, Oakland, Novato, Richmond, and maybe Concord.
